Reserve your Guild Wars 2 name by July 31st

Guild Wars 2 fans, it's almost time! ArenaNet has released a new blog post detailing the process for name reservations, which means that launch day can't be far behind. What's that? You've got August 28th tattooed on your forehead?

OK, but the date for reserving your character name is considerably sooner, so be sure to mark July 31st on your calendar. You'll need an active Guild Wars account to participate, and it's also worth noting that these reservations aren't indefinite. "You must create a Guild Wars 2 character with the same name as your Guild Wars character during the headstart access period or on launch day. Shortly after launch, we'll free up all the unclaimed names for new Guild Wars 2 players to use," ArenaNet says.
